Here are some figure paintings from our recent Friday night session. We played with light and shadow colors, and simplification of forms.
It’s incredibly enjoyable to hang out with people and make stuff. I think I might have the best job in the world. Friday night, I hang out with people I like, and paint. At the end of the class people were asking each other what they’re taking next. “Hands and Feet“… “Steamroller Woodcuts“…. Most of our students take a class every quarter, so over time we get to know each other, and I can watch their artwork gain a sense of depth and ease. I’m so happy I get to see everyone again next week.
